oowee Posted January 17, 2023 Report Share Posted January 17, 2023 If that tertiary inlet is fed direct from outside it's a good stove. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sussexboy Posted January 18, 2023 Report Share Posted January 18, 2023 We have a tertiary inlet on our stove. According to our instructions it is to inject air into the gases released from the wood to allow more complete combustion. I believe this is necessary to meet the DEFRA regs, clear skies, eco burn etc. It certainly makes pretty patterns in the flames when it is fully open!

henry d Posted January 19, 2023 Report Share Posted January 19, 2023 (edited) Similar set up to our new stove, Arada, hope she can get it sorted as there is nothing like the heat you get from them. EDIT - A steel plate on the base may help if she only uses wood AND gets the air control sorted. Edited January 19, 2023 by henry d Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Walker570 Posted January 19, 2023 Report Share Posted January 19, 2023 (edited) Far better if the air is inlet through about 11ft of inner tubing so heating it up and then injecting it down the face of the glass and into the fire as per Clearview. Our Clearview keeps the whole house(built 1650s) warm and will consume about 6 decent size logs(15 inch by 5 inch) from 4pm to 11p. The secret of burning wood is being certain it is dry and matured for at least a couple of years preferably under cover. Ash, hawthorn, sycanore and oak being my first choice but poplar will burn well when fully dried but will not last long. Hawthorne is my favorite but unfortunately doesn't grow into large sizes. Our Clearview will burn for six evenings, 6 hrs each evening, before the tray needs emptying and the ash is just fine dust. Nothing beats just sitting by a log fire. On edit... once a year I lift the top off ours to check above the top plate and usually there is about a cup full of fine grey dust to clean out. Checking the chimney plate also reveals that the lined chimney is still like new. On 17/01/2023 at 19:38, oowee said: If that tertiary inlet is fed direct from outside it's a good stove.

You cannot close it completely though as it is part of the emission control. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kennett Posted January 22, 2023 Report Share Posted January 22, 2023 This is how mine is burning with seasoned Ash, glass only ever needs a wet wipe to remove a light layer of dust. Looking at the tar on the glass of your mother's stove, there is a severe lack of intake air or draw from rhe chimney. Mine has 2 vents, both open to light, bottom closed as soon as the kindling has caught and top closed as far as it'll go (which is about 3/4) once everything is going. It could also be poor quality or wet wood. Regarding grates, mine has a grate in the bottom but I burn on a good few inches of ash, cleaned right out it burns too quickly and is less controlled.

murray smith Posted April 20, 2023 Report Share Posted April 20, 2023 mine has a flue control. Does your Ma`s have a flue control? If so open it and the wood will burn. If the flue is blocked youll need to get it sorted. Good luck Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
